Client: My Pediatric Doctor
Overview
My Pediatric Doctor partnered with DrCare247 to expand access to pediatric urgent care through a secure, insurance-supported telehealth platform. The solution replaced long wait times and unnecessary ER visits with fast virtual access to licensed pediatric providers, secure patient messaging, and streamlined follow-up scheduling—giving families faster care and giving the practice a more efficient, scalable operation.
The Challenge
Starting an appointment request is not the same as finishing one. A parent may begin booking a pediatric consultation, selecting specialty, starting with reason, then the intake form, and then get interrupted before submitting the request: a crying child, a work call, a spotty connection.
My Pediatric Doctor recognized several challenges tied to these incomplete appointment requests, including:
- Parents starting a booking but abandoning it partway through.
- No automatic way to bring parents back to finish a request they’d already started.
- Lost opportunities for care, since an abandoned request often meant no visit happened at all.
- Parents having to start the entire booking process over from scratch if they returned later.
- Uncertainty for the practice about how many incomplete requests represented real, unmet demand for care.
To address these challenges, DrCare247 automated pending appointment reminders that follow up on incomplete requests.
The Solution
DrCare247 detects when an appointment request has been started but not completed and automatically follows up with the parent to help them finish it by implementing an email/text notification.
Rather than letting an abandoned request quietly disappear, the platform picks up where the parent left off—sending a timely reminder that brings them back to a request that’s already partly filled out, so finishing it takes seconds, not a full restart.
The Patient Journey
1. Request Started
A parent begins an appointment request-selecting a specialty, Reason, a time, or starting the intake questionnaire-but doesn’t submit it.
2. Pending Appointment Detected
The platform recognizes the request as incomplete and holds the parent’s progress instead of discarding it.
3. Pending Reminder Sent
Shortly after the request is abandoned, an automated reminder goes out-prompting the parent to return and finish booking the consultation.
4. One-Tap Resume
The reminder links directly back to the in-progress request, so the parent can pick up where they left off and complete the booking in just a few taps.
Benefits for Families
- Families now have a safety net for appointment requests that get interrupted.
- Never lose progress on a partially completed appointment request.
- Get a helpful nudge to finish booking care for their child.
- Resume exactly where they left off, without re-entering information.
- Spend less time and effort completing the booking process.
- Get their child seen sooner, since the request doesn’t sit abandoned.

The platform enables:
- Automated pending appointment reminders that recover abandoned requests.
- Higher completion rates for started appointment bookings.

The Outcome
Through its partnership with DrCare247, My Pediatric Doctor has turned a common point of drop-off-abandoned appointment requests-into an opportunity to bring families back and get them the care they were already seeking.

The result is a more resilient booking process that recovers demand that would otherwise be lost, supports healthier children, and enables My Pediatric Doctor to deliver consistent pediatric care at scale.
